Chapter 152 Personal Injury Examination

Emperor Tongxu glanced at him and knew that Xie Tingzhou had led people to surround Jiang Mansion. The two must have formed a rift, and it was reasonable to suppress Jiang Lian's desire.

"In my opinion, my dear, what's wrong?"

Jiang Lianzhi said sternly: "How can I convince others if I am ranked as a sixth-rank lieutenant general without passing the martial arts examination?"

Shen Yu said: "I have followed General Shen for many years and killed hundreds of enemies at the border. I wonder if this is enough to convince others?"

Jiang Lian choked and couldn't find a reason to refute.

What military commanders value is military merit, and many good generals are promoted from the military.

Li Yanchang narrowed his eyes and said, "It turned out to be a man under General Shen, so how could he become the prince's bodyguard?"

"Seventh brother could be forgetful." Prince Li Jincheng said, "It was the prince who traveled thousands of miles to rescue Yanliang Pass."

Xie Tingzhou didn't show any signs of dew on his face, but his hands tightened on the armrests of the chair, which made a faint creaking sound.

Li Jifeng was close and patted him when he heard the sound, "What's wrong with you?"

Everyone heard the sound and looked over.

Xie Tingzhou immediately relieved himself, looked at Shen Yu leisurely, and said with a smile: "People go to higher places. It's you who have given in to the Prince's Palace in the north."

Shen Yu pursed her lips and said nothing.

"It sounds like the prince is quite dissatisfied with his father's arrangements." Li Yanchang looked at Xie Tingzhou and meant something.

Before Xie Tingzhou could speak, Li Jifeng had already retorted, "Brother Qi is so irritable today, how can he catch and bite whom?"

Li Jincheng said: "Father has decreed that this matter cannot be discussed. If the seventh brother is dissatisfied because he saved me, just come to me. There is no need to find fault here."

With such a big hat on Li Yanchang's head, how dare he continue to dwell on this matter.

Li Yanchang held his breath and said, "My younger brother is just discussing things. My elder brother doesn't need to be so anxious to label me if he excludes dissidents."

Li Jincheng sneered, "Then you should focus more on catching the assassin."

The brothers were quarreling with each other, which gave Emperor Tongxu a headache.

Emperor Tongxu said "Hmm" and raised his slightly closed eyes, "Since you are a talent trained by Zhong An, it's settled. Shi Yu will return to Beijing early tomorrow morning to take charge of the mission. I ordered you to set off within three days. Everyone is gone." Come on."

With the final word, everyone else dispersed one after another.

Pei Chunli ran the fastest, and he felt that if he ran slower, he would be killed.

There were twists and turns in the tent. Pei Chunli stretched his neck and looked back. Fortunately, Xie Tingzhou didn't follow.

He patted his chest happily, turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly took a step back.

There was a knife on his neck, and the handle was in Xie Tingzhou's hand.

"No, no, no, please don't be like this, Your Majesty." Pei Chunli tried to fool him, "We are all friends, right? This is a fake knife, right?"

Xie Tingzhou looked at him, "You try?"

Pei Chunli swallowed, pulled a small piece of hair and touched the knife tentatively, and immediately heard a "wow" sound.

"It's really a good knife for blowing hair and cutting off hair. However, Your Majesty, you and I have no grievances in the past. Recently... we don't have to be so anxious to avenge our recent vengeance. It's late at night."

Pei Chunli faced Xie Tingzhou's heavy gaze and tilted his head back and forth, still unable to avoid the knife hanging on his neck.

"Look... why don't we put the knife away and talk about it?"

The thin smile hanging in the imperial tent just now disappeared, and Xie Tingzhou's eyes were grim, "When you helped her, you should have expected the result now."

Pei Chunli lowered his eyes and stared at the knife on his neck, and said with difficulty: "I, I just said a few words, and they helped me, why didn't you go to them?"

Xie Tingzhou moved the knife forward.

Pei Chunli immediately shouted: "Ayu! Ayu help me——"

Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly.

Shen Yu stepped forward, pulled Pei Chunli behind her, and blocked the knife in front of her.

She knew that Xie Tingzhou would be angry tonight, and she didn't want to add fuel to the fire at this time, but she saw that Xie Tingzhou really had murderous intent in his eyes, and she was afraid that he would accidentally hurt Pei Chunli if he couldn't control himself.

"You go first." Shen Yu said to Pei Chunli.

Pei Chunli ran away like a rabbit as if he had been granted amnesty.

Shen Yu stared at Xie Tingzhou, "I asked him to do this. If you are angry at me, everything I did today has a reason. I can explain it to you one by one."

Xie Tingzhou lowered his knife and inserted it into the ground.

The blood on her body had dried long ago, and some of it was solidified on her cheeks. He reached out and touched it, only to touch a dried blood clot.

"Go and wash up," Xie Tingzhou turned around and said, "There is hot water in the tent."

The tent is divided by screens, with the inner room used for sleeping and the outer room used for living.

Xie Tingzhou sat at the table with a cup of strong tea in his hand.

There was a rustling sound coming from inside. He put down his lamp, turned his head and asked, "Are there any injuries on your body?"

Shen Yu got into the tub and looked at his silhouette reflected on the screen by the lights.

Although she couldn't see anything clearly, she seemed to be able to see his anger and unhappiness from the shadow.

"No," she said obediently, "I didn't get myself hurt."

Xie Tingzhou didn't appreciate it, "Check carefully. If you don't check well, I will check it myself."

Shen Yu said: "Really not."

It was quiet outside for a moment.

"Throw out all your clothes." Xie Tingzhou said, "All of them."

Shen Yu thought for a while, then reached out to pick up the clothes on the ground and threw them to the screen. She also held two items in her hand, crumpled them into a ball and said, "The innermost one... I don't need it, right?"

After a moment, Xie Tingzhou said stiffly: "No need."

Even though the blood had dried, it still had a strong smell of iron.

Xie Tingzhou spread out the bloody clothes one by one and checked them carefully. There were two holes on the riding clothes and scratches, but there were no cuts on the inner clothes, indicating that she was indeed not injured.

Shen Yu sank into the water, the water flooded over her mouth and nose, and only a pair of eyes were exposed to look at the figure on the screen.

Xie Tingzhou sat there for a while, and when he couldn't pour out a drop of tea from the kettle, he got up and went out.

Shen Yu felt that Xie Tingzhou was a little too easy to talk tonight. He didn't ask about the ins and outs of the matter, nor did he scold her. He gave her a feeling of calm before the storm.

This made her feel a little flustered.
